Fax Machines

Using the Fax Management Feature

On any system phone, you can program a button with lights to serve as a Fax Management button. The lights next to this button tell you when the fax machine is in use, available, or not answering (for example, when it is out of paper). You can also use the button to transfer calls from your extension to the fax machine with a single touch.

Programming for Fax Management

To program a Fax Management button, first assign the fax machine extension using Fax Machine Extensions (#601). (See Chapter 5 for details.) Then program the fax machine extension number on an Auto Dial button. For more information, see ‘‘Auto Dialing’’ on page 5-13.

Using the Fax Management Button

The lights next to the Fax Management button show what is happening at the fax machine.

Table 4-1. Fax Management Button Light Patterns

Light Pattern...	Indicates...
Red broken flutter	Fax trouble. The fax machine is not answering. If
	broken flutter occurs because the fax machine is out
	of paper, refill the paper. The light clears the next
	time the machine transmits or receives a call. If the
	machine takes longer than four rings to answer, the
	light shows fax trouble; when the machine does
	answer, the light changes to fax busy (red steady).
Red steady	Fax busy. The fax machine is busy transmitting or
	receiving a call.
Green flutter	Fax transfer return. A call you transferred to the fax
	machine was not answered and is returning to you.
